merry christmas xx

If your family doesn't deserve you this holiday season for whatever reason then you have my sympathies, my love, and my support. I genuinely hope you'll have a better 2026 than any of 'em. Spite them by being happy.

This is becoming a very very shameful episode - and a tragedy for these young and courageous people and their friends and families

I knew the Reiner family tragedy would lead people to say some fucked up things about people living with addiction, but it's still hard to see that stuff. If you've lived with an addiction or loved someone who does or has, you know cruel generalizations don't help anyone or anything.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.

Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)

Anyone who’s ever actually spoken to a single asylum seeker about their experiences in any country in Europe simply could not honestly conclude that what would improve things would be to further reduce their human rights protections.

It’s vile scapegoating unworthy of us & it needs to end #r4today

Getting and selling porn should be easy like buying anything in life is. We shouldn't be underground because that is what fascism wants. Stand up for porn now or lose most creators you love. Don't let us backslide!

In our grossly ableist society they are never happy and will find something new to be angry about and demand action which is why you never give them an inch

I wrote this earlier this year and I still hope it can be of use! www.eater.com/24364171/ice...

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

The issue here is that “criminal” doesn’t hold the same evocative power for people when they’re picturing the people Trump pardons, the political power of “crime” is due to what people picture “crime” and who they envision a “criminal” to be…

Most people in the UK really have no idea how extremely difficult it is to navigate the bureaucratic maze that is our healthcare system when you're an asylum seeker. It's a form of slow institutional violence where we effectively withhold healthcare and blame it on asylum seekers' "incompetence".

Once again I find myself flailing financially and need to come up with $450 before the end of the month to afford rent and bills. My apologies for having to ask but anything really helps

Please help my old friend Juniper. She is an icon and refugee from garbage Twitter, and a dear friend. Her and her babies need utilities and food for the holidays. Please come through for them.
